His nearest challenger was Martin McElroy, of Labour, a Glasgow councillor, who took 8683 votes.

The Conservatives were in third place, with Annie Wells, who has been an MSP for the last five years, taking 2687 votes.

The Greens won 2366 with Kim Long, also a Glasgow councillor, coming in fourth place.

The LibDems were last, with Nicholas Moohan taking 421 votes.

McKee has been Trade and Innovation minister in Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish Government.

After the win he said:"I'll continue to work hard to get results on so many local issues.

"People have expressed support for SNP goverment to lead us into the recovery and also clearly expressed wanting to take a decision on Scotland's future and the right to choose Scotland's future.

"Scotland is a wealthy country and we have the right to enjoy the fruits of that wealth and put that choice sooner rather than later."

To Boris Johnson he said: "You can't stand in the way of democracy and you can't stand in the way of the will of the people of Scotland."
